Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.2 Update fix for fusion drives

Improves activation in Office for Mac 2011
This update fixes an issue in which product activation is always required after you restart a computer that uses an Apple Fusion Drive. After you install this update, product activation may be requested one more time.

I don't normally advocate users re-install Office to fix an issue but in your case I think it's worth a try. The Mavericks update seems to have fixed the issue for most users. I would suggest the complete removal rather than the simple removal of dragging the Office folder in Applications to the trash.

    Hi,

    Also, you can start your Mac in safe model, this will stop those programs from loading. Then try auto-update in safe mode:

  • Outlook for Mac 2011 doesn't bounce dock icon for new message

    Under "Outlook Preferences -> Notifications & Sounds" I have the option selected "Bounce Outlook icon in Dock" for new messages. But the icon doesn't bounce when I get a new email. I'd really like for that to work - is this a known
    issue or a local config issue?

    Hi,
    Please first note that the option only applies when Outlook is not the active application. In addition, it appears that the icon bounces when you first select the Outlook application to open it. If you want the icon to bounce when new mail arrives
    you will need to create a rule for that.
    Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, if above doesn't applies, I'd recommend you post a new question in the forum for Mac for further assistance:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

    Go to the "View" option at the top of the page and then move down to "Go to" and see if Task is an option there. If it is, then select it to see whare it takes you. It may repopulate your task view, but only the trial will tell.

    Here is a very easy possible solution, worth trying before uninstalling Office. It worked for us so hopefully might work for you.
    We installed Yosemite on a test machine to check for problems. Office 2011 for Mac ran and still does run fine on that machine with Yosemite.
    As a result we installed Yosemite on our main machines. At the same time we updated Office for Mac 2011 using the latest update 14.4.7. It was at this point that Office started crashing every time a document was opened.
    Solution that worked for us.
    1 Using Font Book (comes with your Mac) we removed all duplicate fonts. We selected the automatically remove option.
    2 Restart computer.
    3 Shut down computer.
    4 Restart computer in 'safe boot' to do this:
    a) Shut down the computer.
    b) Press the power button.
    c) Immediately after hearing start-up tone, hold down SHIFT key.
    d) Release SHIFT key after Apple logo and progress indicator appears.
    e) Once computer has opened, restart the computer without holding down any keys.
    5 Hopefully all should be ok now. Your machine might run a little slow for a while as it rebuilds caches etc but all ours were back at full speed after a few minutes.
    Best Wishes

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • I am trying to use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I am trying to use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 as my daughters school uses it (on PC's). However, it won't save any documents. It gives me the message that; it is not a valid file name, check the path to make sure it was typed correctly and select a file from the list of files and folders. All of which I think I have tried and there is just no success. It has just completely lost my daughters homework essay so it is not very popular around here at the moment! Anyone with any ideas for this glitch (?).

    Doesn't sound like Office for Mac. In any case post in the Microsoft forums:

  • Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

    Help!  I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel.  If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files?  If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

    Thanks, Niel.  I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files.  I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  How can I do this?  I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I do not have Acrobat available in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 task bar. (Mac OS 10.8.3)
    I have searched, and my understanding is that these two programs are not compatible. Has a plugin or something been developed to do this?
    What functionality is missed by not having this?
    Thanks,
    Donna

    There's no plugin for the Mac version of Office, but you can still use Acrobat by printing to the PDF Printer to generate a PDF from your Office files.
    (PS - you should post Acrobat-related questions in the Acrobat forums, not the Reader ones)

  • Installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I have a Macbook Pro 5.3 Boot ROM Version MBP53.00AC.B03 with SMC Version 1.48f2. The computer will not read the software for installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (Home and Student). An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update. Mac Support said the problem is the Microsoft software. Microsoft said the problem is the Macbook Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve the problem so the Office 2011 can be installed?

    An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update
    Firmware updates and Office 2011 are unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
    If the firmware won't install, then post your question in the OS X forums.

    If this question is strictly related to the installation of Office, then please post your question on MS' own forums for their Mac software, as Apple Discussions only provide support for Apple products: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

    I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
    What am I missing?

    The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
    Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
    or
    Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column.  If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon.

    I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

    Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
    There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
    They also have a limited, free version.

    If I perform a complete Clean install of Mac OS X snow leopard, then install microsoft office for mac afterwards, will this waste one of my licences. (So then there will only be one more installation left)?

    no, it will not waste a license.  I have the same MS Office version on my mac.
